Haul Pic

Griffs were 16/15 and 17/15.

Goals
1. Any one grailer (am at -5)
2. Get faster with the zerker so I don't feel like such a slouch talking to ResTTe and ffs (currently ~80s runs)
3. >20 hours
4. Tyraels and fathom (why not?)
5. Up my trash talk game

1. Got veil of steel, so am at -4
2. Good improvements. Got down to about 70s runs. Even made a (mediocre) HoR entry that I should get around to posting, and also improved my blizz sorc runtimes from like 40s to about 36.5s.
3. well... i put in just over 40 hours
4. 0/2 here haha
5. Sure, we'll count it. Need a win.

Discussion
Was planning to do 600 pitbarb runs and 1k AT sorc runs which would've put me around 25 hours. After I was up to 15 hours in after just the first weekend, I decided to go for more . Ended up with 800 pitbarb runs and 2.5k AT sorc runs, which took just over 40 hours, and I estimate just under 24k bosspacks killed. Pretty sad @ffs beat me with 400 and 350 lol. I don't anticipate every being able to put in this many hours into an mfo in the future, so I had a lot of fun putting in what I would consider a proper grind. I know it doesn't really compare to nagisa's ^^, but still... the wrist was hurting and I was seeing double, so got to feel a bit of the pain. That was satisfying, but my drops really weren't. I scored about 2 points higher than I did last year despite killing over double the packs with more mf, but so it goes. When a unique sacred dropped on the last day, definitely got my heart pumping, but was just the green one. I was glad I found a grailer in veil of steel, but it was the only one of my 5 remaining items that wouldn't improve my score.

Anyways I did have fun, and thanks for hosting @PhineasB! Also huge congrats to teammate @Vildecor for that second place with his new sorc. I did have a lot of fun working on my efficiency this tourney as well as experimenting with several different gear setups and builds. I ran like 4 different setups on my pitzerker and tracked the results, ran a no-swap pitzerker for a while (who I am calling the easyzerker), tried out singer a couple of hundred runs, ran regular blizz sorc, a fireball sorc with a blizzard backup (who I am calling a fizz sorc ), and a pure fire sorc with phoenix. I'll post more about them in the olympian threads as well as my 1kmw thread.

Congrats to everyone and great job making this mfo a good one!

EDIT: whoops forgot some other relevant info. Brought my sorc up to lvl 94, and she's only done p1 AT runs since sometime in the mid 70's. That feels quite satisfying for some reason, may keep her strictly p1 ^^. One these death cleavers was ETH. Woohoo, but then ed was 235 . Best nonquals were ber (only vex+ rune dropped), and a 7mf/10cres sc.

I'm kinda surprised I achieved my 2020 goal of at least 2nd place in the Baal category. I thought fore sure I'd need at least of one the 90+ pointers to bounce back from 4th place.

Here's the haul pic of my top 5:



I found in total 90 qualifiers:

Spoiler

I'm especially happy that during the runs I completed 3 of the class-specific expansion sets: IK, Tal Rasha's, and Aldur's.

Congratulation to all the winners for a great showing, and all the participants for the banter, the competition, and (of course) the great finds! Special thanks to @PhineasB for hosting and @Albatross for supervising the Baal category. Looking forward to next year already!

I will also not be claiming any items.

 

[PhineasB]

My other side project was to make itemz as trophies for future MFOs, aside from the Worn Travelers kicking around as an A85 trophy. Mission accomplished, with a sorc in early Hell

Crazy to see so many Griffon's overall.

Sorry I was quiet during the tournament, work was severely diminishing my ability to remain human and sober, so I chose one of them. I would have loved to have partaken in the smacktalk, but in the way cool guys don't look at explosions, first place doesn't acknowledge the runner-up. I was ahead for so long.... but it came crashing down and it hurts inside. Also a huge +1 for whoever linked Steiner Math in the MFO thread, that made me chuckle.

I managed to cross the elusive Ethereal Edge off my grail list as well as non-qualifiers Seraph's Hymn and Wisp Projector, sitting at -23. My char's death on Friday put me off running for the last two days, but I had a great time overall. Highest rune was a Vex, but I also found two poison facets and a Blizzard Ormus' Robes.

Thank you to organisers and players for my first MFO.

Haul Pic of top 5 plus the 1 SOJ that dropped


Now to the individual screenshots.






Best rune-->LEM, or cube the 2xFAL that dropped to make a 2nd LEM, then cube those to get a PUL HAHAHAHA

This was my first time taking apart in the MFO...I figured to get my feet wet, I'd pick an easy category to run. By easy, I mean no "re-roll" of a map (pindle map is always same ) and the mind numbing ease of running him over and over. Next year, I'll move to the Baal category probably, A85 competition seems a bit too much still.

My goals that were set

#1.not to die--CHECK
#2.Find either Death's Fathom or Griffons. Death's Fathom found--CHECK
#3.Grail from -18 to -10. -15 so I found 3 grailers during MFO from pindle.

Overall not a terrible way to start my MFO career with a 1st Place finish in the Pindle+ category.

Congrats to all the winners and the winning team as well.

Thanks to @PhineasB and @Albatross for hosting such a great SPF tradition that I am just now starting to get involved in.
Thanks especially to @Babyhell and @LiquidClear for being teammates of mine for this MFO.

Until next time, stay safe and enjoy D2.

Other than pointing out that your item readout gives the two runes away, I definitely can understand (especially having been *gifted* 6 IK Mauls from Baal) the pleasure derived from a big, hurty stick that says F U.

Congrats to the winners!

Ran about 4k Pindle runs but no great rares to speak of. The LR wand with 20 FCR is cool though.

No high scoring TC87s but I did manage to pick up several eth grailers including an eth Griffon's!

 

[frozzzen]

My extremely seedy haul picture.



Sure I did get some more TC87, but not many, and this really shows the impact of seed on overall haul >_> I know this map can drop Tyrael's Might so just wait for next MFO in 10 years where I figure out how to make my map vomit those SAs and I'll sweep you. Griffon's are kinda meh rolls and 2/3 CoA rolled with 1 socket so it's kinda sad. I'd like to add that in pre MFO preparations I got another dragonscale and shadow dancer, so yeah... map seeds probably influence drops in some way. Perhaps it's something some of you youngsters can check.

Gz to winners and participants. Really nice looking results overall. MFO is good tradition and I'm happy to see it around after all those years.

Other than pointing out that your item readout gives the two runes away, I definitely can understand (especially having been *gifted* 6 IK Mauls from Baal) the pleasure derived from a big, hurty stick that says F U.

Also, "fal(l) um!" means "fall down" in German, and the extension "fall tot um!" means "drop dead!" which seems quite fitting, does it?

 

[Excalibur]

Well done guys! Really nice to see all those pictures!
Runes are not counted in this tournament?

Congrats @EatSleepDiablo !!!

 

[Albatross]

Those gloves are amazing

 

[ffs]

They are, but tbh in particular the gloves @Pb_pal posted above made me a little jealous... 2/20/3 ML is awesome for Java, plus another useful mod with strength.

@Luhkoh heh, I think my RNG was pretty normal for 750 runs, but indeed it seems you got the short end of the stick this time around – it all evens out long term.

 

[Albatross]

Indeed, his pair is even better. Must have overlooked the ML.

 

[jjscud]

Congrats all, especially Trim, that's the most complete set I think I've ever seen in an MFO.

Good job everyone, except you pindle runners, nothing personal but I hate you all.

I got in around 5000 pindle runs, got basically all of my sad points in the first 24 hours and then went on a horrendous dry spell.

 

[Pb_pal]

They are, but tbh in particular the gloves @Pb_pal posted above made me a little jealous... 2/20/3 ML is awesome for Java, plus another useful mod with strength.

I was tired when doing my write-up so I didn't really do them justice. They are quite something, I'm a little miffed they dropped in HC and I can't use them on my SC javazon that I intend to take to 99 some day (97 currently), but I'll find a use for them in HC somehow.

 

[m4ke]

I didn't quite pick it up if @Kstil3227 will claim any items? I'm not going to do so. I'll post some pics later on better time.

I had to quit running somewhere middle of last week but I managed to do some ~5,5k runs before that. My runner Sorc leveled from 90 -> 93 and I got some grailers too. No time to check all items yet.

[Kstil3227]

Quick post.

Forgot to post my top 5 rare items from all the Pindle runs. Wish those gloves rolled Javs not Bow but still a solid pair for sure.
